Oh my gosh....

Over 100 comments.....Wow! I've had some fun checking out your blogs and most of you have had an email back from me. If you haven't that's because you're set "no reply" on your email address. I'm sure some of you have it that way on purpose, but I'm also pretty sure that most of you don't since blogging is all about meeting people with our same interests. If any of you are interested in changing your settings, here's a great tutorial that Chookyblue has done "how to change from no reply"

I have had a great time visiting some new blogs and to be honest, that's one of the main reasons I do giveaways is to see some new people and quilts. I'm really going to have to start limiting my time on the computer though....lol...a person could spend all day looking at pretty quilts and getting inspired!

Remember a while back I showed a picture of a cute Eiffel Tower pincushion kit that my sweet little sister sent me? Well tada....

 

Isn't it just precious?! I also made the pretty pins, although don't look to close because I did get carried away with the glue gun. Thanks again Pam!

Today is going to be a very fun day! My friend Sharon and I are going to the Oklahoma City Winter Quilt Show....yippee! We are also meeting up with a couple of blogging friends Penny from Penny Quilts and Teresa from MamaTquilts
Very exciting!!!

Thank you for all of the concern for my health....I've decided to swear off doctors....seriously! I am still having pain off and on, but I am feeling better. I am not going to run a bunch of expensive tests though and have them come back with oh it's just the auto-immune thing. I get so tired of that! Okay enough of that...lol

If you haven't entered for the giveaway, there's still time and check back here tomorrow morning for the winner!

Have a wonderful day! Miriam I wish you could join us today and we will be thinking of you!

I love your pin cushion. My husband and I went to Paris a few years ago and the Eiffel Tower was just breathtaking. I had seen a million pictures of it, but seeing it in person was incredible. Have fun at your quilt show!
